I

would

like

to

make

three

relevant

points.

First,

extensive

reading

be

taken

a

priority

in

the

learning

process,

because

it

is

through

reading

that

we

get

the

most

language

input.

Next, learning

by

heart

as

many

well-written

essays

as

possible

is

also

very

important.

With

an

enormous

store

of

excellent

essays

in

our

heads,

we

will

find

it

much

easier

to

express

ourselves

in

English.

Finally,

it is critical that we should put what we have learnt into practice. By doing more

reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task

of perfecting our English.

我认为 总结一下学习英语的经验是值得一试的。

这里，

我想谈谈三个相 关的问题。

首先，

大量阅读应被视作学习过程中的重点，因为我 们是通过阅读获取最大量语言输入的。其次，

尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。

大脑中储存了大量很好的文章，

我们在用英语表达自

己思想的时候，

就会觉得容易多了。

最后，我们应把所 学到的东西用到实践中去，

这是至关

重要的。通过多读、多写、 多听、多说，我们就能完成提高英语水平的任务。

nations

）

in history ?The

author

thinks

not,

that

the

type

of

people

seem

easy

to

understand

：

their

character

appears

obvious

on

first

meeting.

Appearances, however, can be deceptive. For thirty years now I have been studying

my fellowmen. I don't know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people

tell

me

that

their

first

impressions

of

a

person

are

always

right.

I

think

they

must

have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know

people, the more they puzzle me.

有些人似乎容易了解：

他们的个性在 初次交往时就表露无遗。

然而，

外表可能具有欺骗

性。三十年来，

我一直在研究我的人类同胞，

但至今 了解不多。每当有人跟我说他对一个人

的首次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。我想这 种人不是无知，就是自大。就我而言，我

觉得，认识一个人的时间越长，就越觉得困惑。
